CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Initially charging the battery pack after purchase or extended
storage (greater than 2 months) will not bring the battery pack
to its normal operating capacity. After repeating the charge/
discharge cycle two or three times, the operating capacity will
increase to normal.
Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged.
Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the
battery pack may be damaged.
After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger.
Charging the battery pack for more than 5 days may reduce the
battery pack life due to overcharging.
Note:
The ambient temperature should be between 41°F and 104°F
(5°C and 40°C) while charging is in progress. Charging outside
this range may not fully charge the battery.
Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a battery pack
before charging. Using the transceiver while charging its battery
pack will interfere with correct charging.
The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases
even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery
pack.
